Until The End Of Time

Chapter 26 Tied Up

Jade could consciously feel the pure liquid of life flowing from the open gashes spanning from her upper stomach down to her groin in a curving fashion. She could feel her energy draining from her body and she could feel the pull of the darkness, but she had to fight against it. She grovelled on the ground before managing two final words out.

"Scott, help." She barely whispered as she collapsed flag on the ground and succumbed to her wounds, even questioning her own mortality, but as if her whispers were carried through the wind it was only a short amount of time before Scott was rushing in the door and to her side with Lydia and Isaac trotting are him shortly after and surrounding her. She could barely see them as they morphed into shadows and she could only hear segments of their loud speech.

"Scott why . . . not healing . . . ok?" She could hear the question lacing Isaac's voice barely, but just enough to determine that he was asking a question.

"Don't . . . very slowly . . . Perhaps too." She couldn't make out if it was Scott or Lydia who was speaking, but by this stage she started to feel like it was too late to be saved and she laid there in the mercy of the goddess as the crimson liquid pooled around her, she could taste the metallic liquid on the tip of her tongue and once again she fell into the consuming darkness into a deep, dark sleep.

Kiara's head shot up from its resting position so she was looking evenly across the large, empty room. She had a taste on the edge of her tongue and it definitely wasn't natural, it was like it wasn't particularly something she had tasted, but maybe she had inhaled and that's when it all came back to her, she remembered she was just taking a peaceful walk after talking to Argent about beginning her training and she was trying to get a fresh breath when an assailant grabbed her from behind and slid a cloth over her mouth, she had fought back maybe scratching him or smashing him in the crotch. She remembered hearing the man wince as she wrestled with him for control, but he was just too strong and with every single breath she could feel the energy draining from her body and she could feel the drowsiness replace what had only moments before been energy filling her body with the ability to fight back, but she slowly felt herself collapse to the floor as the man kept s control over her. She looked down and found she was tied to a chair arms, legs and perhaps the first thing she should have noticed was that she had a large piece of duck tape over her mouth and that was when she heard a chuckle from the dark corner of the room and she tried to speak through the black industrial tape covering her mouth.

"Is anybody there?" She asked, but was heavily distorted by the tape to sound something a rather like ris ramgmhm mere? She studied the man as he began to step out of the darkness, but that was when she figured out that it wasn't a man, it was just a boy because he was too short to be 18 and he didn't have the build and as he emerged she saw his deep blue oceanic eyes, it was Liam. He walked over to her and carefully taking the tape off of her mouth, trying not to make her any angrier than she already probably was.

"Are you insane jackass? Why do you have me tapped and tied up and why'd you drug me? You don't have to drug me and tie me to a chair to stare at me for hours!" Liam laughed a little because Kiara was overreacting.

"Kiara I think you're overreacting and assuming really weird things because I definitely didn't drug you to stare at you, I did it because Chris asked me to help him with the first stage of your training. He said to kidnap you and then to tie you to a chair and leave. He said that generally no one stays with them while they get out of the rope, but he thought it might give you some more . . . encouragement." Kiara still looked absolutely furious at Liam and he was really, really glad that she was tied up because if she wasn't Liam would have had his balls ripped off in almost half a second.
